3. These gift card funds will be applied automatically to eligible orders during the checkout process.

Today would be day 45 for you, but wasn't this a one day deal, 3-7 only???

I just chatted with customer service at WSJ.com. I'm in the cue to be sent the $50GC. She said sometimes it takes a few days more. I did subscribe on 3/7/13 through the banner link, but since it was after business hours it showed starting up 3/8.

I see, it sounds good, I hope we both get emails soon!

They tried hard for each one to persuade just doing the auto renewal cancel, give this a one more try, convert to paper version etc etc -- held firm politely, then on asking on refund he says not much is left -- how much I asked? $11 -- I said fine

They said they don't give me any money back as it is prepaid.. but, cancelled..

While I earlier got the same email but without any mention of $11 refund that I had hoped, and with someone reporting they are not gonna get that as it was prepaid, I almost gave up the idea of calling them back but today also got a 2nd confirmation of cancellation as below X 2 (emphasis mine):

Mine is cancelled as of June 6th, wouldn't shut it down any earlier. That's OK it was worth it. I wanted to try it anyways and this way I got a bonus. Not worth the money for me though.

How were you guys able to get refunds? Did you email or call in?

I've called twice and both times they said the amount was prepaid and no way to get a refund.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm watching this pot that just won't boil... all you guys cancelling right away are probably making them slow down the gift card distribution

I haven't received my AMZN code yet. I received the email notice that I was qualified a few weeks ago. Anyone with a last name beginning with "A" get these yet? Maybe they are going reverse alphabetical.

In the L-Q last name section and received in the first day, if that helps.

I'm at the north end of the alphabet and still nothing... I think today is day 45 from when I received the qualification email, I might have to contact them in a few days... :/
